    Spadafora was mentally weak and went life and death with Sosa and Dorin, the former Floyd had already beaten and the latter Floyd would have annihilated. He's not beating Floyd.

    And let's be real, even if Floyd DID fight and beat Spadafora, the very same people saying Floyd avoided him would be calling Spadafora a bum, saying that Floyd shouldn't have even fought him, and that he should have fought so-and-so instead.

    It's true. Look at what they did with Manfredy, who dropped a narrow decision to Spadafora years after Floyd had already stopped him.

    It would've been a nice rivalry type fight for young Floyd to have, but it only made sense at one phase of Floyd's career. Nothing to really harp on.

    A number of fighters have had the style to beat Mayweather (including guys he actually fought). But they didn't beat Mayweather.

    Boxing is littered with fighters that should have been stylistic foils to a fighter that still ended up losing to that fighter.
